Knowing how to "draw" letters, or writing them in a beautiful way will go a long way in making cards, banners or even graffiti. Some of the following methods include actual illustrations, while the rest manipulate the way the letters are formed. Read on to learn how to draw letters the way you want.
Step
Step 1. Draw 3D letters
This is a simple method, you just need to know how to connect the lines in a way that makes the letters appear three-dimensional. You can even create them on your computer if you want, and if you want the letters to stand out even more you can try 3D printed fonts.
Step 2. Write in calligraphic form
Calligraphy is the art of decorative handwriting using a pen and/or brush. This skill may be difficult to master, but when you can do it, you are already competent. If you can already write calligraphy, you can still practice to improve your skills by writing short notes for yourself in calligraphy writing.
Step 3. Draw the letters with an ancient look
To do this, you must train your development; each letter must be detailed. Make your letters even more realistic by writing them on parchment paper, or on scraps of paper that you have burnt the edges.
Step 4. Draw the bubble letters
This letter is a little childish, but still beautiful to the eye. Use bubble letters when writing on cards and markers for children.
Step 5. Write like a tagger (a graffiti artist)
Combine a design you like with any other typeface you've seen, including the ones listed above. The most important thing in tagging or writing graffiti on the wall is creativity. Just let your inspiration flow.
Tips
- Emphasize the lines in the final drawing of the letter with a black pen or pencil.
- Draw lightly with a pencil so that you can erase the mistakes that occur easily.
- If you want to use markers or watercolors on your drawings, use relatively thick paper and make the pencil lines darker before using the markers or watercolors.
